Abstract

The control device, which operates due to a processor executing an object-oriented program, backs-up, to a storing section, respective first combinations of elements of a first object in which class structure relating to an application program is defined, and respective second combinations of elements of a second object in which class structure relating to a storage region used by an application program is defined. In a case in which generation of an object is necessary when the program is started, for the first object, the control device reads-out the respective first combinations from the storing section and generates the first object, and, for the second object, the control device reads-out the respective second combinations from the storing section and generates the second object.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control device that operates due to a processor executing an object-oriented program, wherein the processor:
backs up, to a storing section, respective first combinations in which respective elements of a first object, in which a class structure relating to an application program is defined, are set in correspondence with first IDs, and backs up, to the storing section, respective second combinations in which respective elements of a second object, in which a class structure relating to a storage region used by an application program is defined, are set in correspondence with second IDs; and
when the program is started and generation of an object is necessary, for the first object, reads out the respective first combinations from the storing section and generates the first object, and, for the second object, reads out the respective second combinations from the storing section and generates the second object.

2. The control device of claim 1 , wherein the processor:
sets elements, which are needed in order to generate the first object, and the first IDs, in correspondence with one another as the respective first combinations, and
sets elements, which are needed in order to generate the second object, and the second IDs, in correspondence with one another as the respective second combinations.

3. The control device of claim 1 , wherein:
the first object is a user object relating to a user that expresses an application in the object orientation, and
the second object is a directory object relating to a directory of a storage region that the user utilizes in the object orientation.

4. The control device of claim 1 , wherein the processor carries out backing-up in a case in which there is an update of the first object or the second object.

5. The control device of claim 1 , wherein the processor utilizes updating of a class structure of the first object or the second object as a standard for judging whether or not generation of an object is necessary, judges that generation is necessary in a case in which the class structure has been updated, and judges that generation is unnecessary in a case in which the class structure has not been updated.

6. A vehicle in which the control device of claim 1 is installed.

7. A control method that is carried out due to a processor executing an object-oriented program, and in which a computer executes processing in which the processor:
backs up, to a storing section, respective first combinations in which respective elements of a first object, in which class a structure relating to an application program is defined, are set in correspondence with first IDs, and backs up, to the storing section, respective second combinations in which respective elements of a second object, in which a class structure relating to a storage region used by an application program is defined, are set in correspondence with second IDs; and
when the program is started and generation of an object is necessary, for the first object, reads out the respective first combinations from the storing section and generates the first object, and, for the second object, reads out the respective second combinations from the storing section and generates the second object.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an object-oriented control program executable by a processor to cause a computer to execute processing in which the processor:
backs up, to a storing section, respective first combinations in which respective elements of a first object, in which a class structure relating to an application program is defined, are set in correspondence with first IDs, and backs up, to the storing section, respective second combinations in which respective elements of a second object, in which a class structure relating to a storage region used by an application program is defined, are set in correspondence with second IDs; and
when the program is started and generation of an object is necessary, for the first object, reads out the respective first combinations from the storing section and generates the first object, and, for the second object, reads out the respective second combinations from the storing section and generates the second object.
